Pam is amazing with my dog Mila! She is quick to respond and flexible, which I really appreciate as my schedule varies week to week. Mila runs to the door every time she gets here. I can’t say enough positive things about our experience working with her.

About: Hi! I’ve always had a huge love for animals and honestly can’t imagine life without them. I worked at PetSmart for 3 years as a Pet Care Associate, where I cared for all kinds of animals — from dogs and bunnies to lizards and other small pets. That experience taught me so much about animal behavior, patience, and making pets feel comfortable and cared for. I also know the doggy Heimlich maneuver, so your pet’s safety is always something I take seriously. I grew up surrounded by pets and now have two of my own as an adult, so I completely understand how important it is to find someone you can truly trust with your furry family members. Whether your pet loves playtime, cuddles, walks, or just a calm comforting presence, I’ll always treat them like one of my own ❤️ Pet care fits naturally into my lifestyle because animals are truly what I love spending my time around 🐾 I work 8–4 in Wisconsin Dells, and outside of work, caring for animals is honestly my favorite way to spend my free time. Whether it’s walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply keeping pets company, it never feels like a chore to me — it’s something I genuinely enjoy ❤️ I’ve always grown up with pets and currently have two of my own, so caring for animals has always been part of my daily life. I love creating a calm, loving environment where pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away 🐶🐱 When caring for pets—whether in my home or a client’s home—I focus on keeping them comfortable, safe, and sticking closely to their normal routine 🐾 In my own home, I care for my two pets daily by making sure they’re fed on schedule, have fresh water, get plenty of attention, playtime, walks when needed, and a calm, clean environment. I really treat them like part of my family, and their well-being is a big part of my everyday life. When caring for a client’s pets, I bring that same level of care and consistency. I follow instructions closely, maintain feeding and potty routines, give lots of love and attention based on each pet’s personality, and always prioritize safety. I also pay attention to behavior and comfort so pets feel as relaxed as possible while their owners are away. With my experience working at PetSmart and years of caring for animals in both personal and professional settings, I’m comfortable with pets of all kinds and always aim to make them feel secure, loved, and at home!

About: I’ve had cats and dogs my entire life, from very young to end of life care. Taking care of animals and bonding with them is such a special thing, and I would love to help aid dogs lives through proper exercise! Going into college in the fall and will have a part time job soon; I have plenty of free time to work around with and will be very flexible with my schedule. I currently have one cat (around 3) and one dog (around 10) who I love very much. My dog is getting a little too old to go on longer walks with me so I think this will be a great opportunity to help younger dogs get that exercise in. I’m very easy to talk to and flexible and would be happy to make sure your animal has water after the walk/ a treat and will provide doggy bags for bathroom needs.

About: I have two dogs of my own who I have raised since they were puppies, and they’re now happy senior dogs. Being with them throughout every stage of life has taught me so much about care, patience, and how to truly understand a dog’s needs. I’ve also spent years pet sitting for friends, family, and neighbors. I am attentive, dependable, and go above and beyond to make sure pets are comfortable and well looked after. I’m home from college for the summer and have a very open, flexible schedule. I’m already caring for my two dogs every day, so pet care fits naturally into my routine. Whether it’s walks, drop-ins, or overnight stays, I have the time and experience to give your dog the attention they need. I keep things calm and consistent, whether your dog is at my home or I am at yours. At home, I have two very friendly dogs and a safe space where everyone is supervised and comfortable. If I am in your home, I stick to your routine and make sure your dog feels relaxed and cared for. I treat every dog with the same attention I give my own.

About: I grew up with two dogs and have owned guinea pigs for the last 6 years. I volunteer with a shelter where I walk and play with dogs. I also foster dogs with my rescue but do not currently have a foster. I currently work a full time job. I am available for lunchtime walks or enrichment. I am available during the evenings and weekends to care for your dog whether that’s walks, enrichment, or overnight sitting. I’m currently living in an apartment so any sitting would need to occur at your home! I can easily follow any directions you have to ensure your furry friend is well cared for. I’m looking forward to help with your needs. Please reach out with any questions!

About: I love dogs! I grew up with dogs, as well as have a wide range of experience with caring for puppies, senior dogs, and dogs with disabilities.

About: I have taken care of dogs ever since I was a kid around 5 years old. I have taken care of dogs all the way from them being puppies to their final days. Young dogs and old dogs and everyone in between all come with their surprises and I will be ready to handle all things! You can trust in me to take the best possible care of your pet! I am able to work from home every other day 90% of the time. When I am working from home I have the freedom and flexibility to be able to take care of dogs whether they come over for the day or they need to be let outside around lunch time. I will always keep my schedule up to date on when I am working from home. I currently do not have a pet of my own due to time constraints but I like to think of dogs as hoomans. I like to talk to them throughout the day and always take little 5 min breaks and run around the house with them. They will get plenty of outside walking time as I dont like to sit still myself.

About: I’ve spent the last 9 years caring for my Doberman, Rockso, including his senior years and ongoing health needs. For the past 3 years I’ve also cared for and trained our energetic German Shepherd/American Bulldog mix, Jett, from puppyhood through adolescence. My experience includes daily exercise, feeding schedules, medication administration, basic training reinforcement, senior dog care, and handling large, high-energy breeds. I’ve also provided pet sitting services for friends and family both in their homes and in ours. We have access to a yard area and I understand the importance of keeping pets safe, active, and comfortable while their owners are away. Whether your pet needs a walk, playtime, companionship, or dependable daily care, I’ll treat them with the same attention and care I give my own dogs. Pet care is already a major part of my daily life. My day begins and ends with caring for my own dogs, including walks, feeding, exercise, training, playtime, and monitoring their overall health and well-being. Because I structure my schedule around animal care, adding pet visits, walks, and check-ins for clients fits naturally into my routine. I am typically available during daytime hours and can provide reliable morning and midday visits, walks, feeding, potty breaks, exercise, and companionship. I understand the importance of consistency for pets and make communication with owners a priority by providing updates and photos whenever appropriate. Whether caring for a young puppy, an active adult dog, a senior pet, or a cat that simply needs daily attention, I have the flexibility and experience to ensure they receive dependable care and attention while their owners are away. Every pet has its own personality, routine, and needs, so I take the time to follow the owner's instructions and maintain consistency whenever possible. I believe pets are most comfortable when their normal feeding, exercise, potty, medication, and sleep schedules are respected. When caring for pets in a client's home, I focus on keeping their routine as normal as possible through walks, playtime, feeding, fresh water, potty breaks, companionship, and any requested updates to the owner. I treat every home with respect and communicate regularly with photos and messages so owners can feel confident their pets are doing well. When caring for pets in my home, safety and supervision are my top priorities. Pets receive regular exercise, attention, fresh water, feeding according to their schedule, and a comfortable environment to relax. I have experience with large breeds, puppies, and senior dogs, and I understand that some pets need extra patience, structure, or encouragement to feel comfortable in a new environment. My goal is always to provide reliable, compassionate care and treat every pet as if they were my own.

About: I’ve cared for my dog for 10+ years, have experience dog sitting and overnight stays, and love staying active by giving dogs plenty of walks, exercise, and attention. Pet care fits well into my routine because I only work nights, leaving me available during the day for walks, check-ins, playtime, feeding, and overnight pet sitting. I care for pets by following their normal routine to help them feel comfortable and safe. In clients’ homes, I provide feeding, walks, playtime, overnight care, and lots of attention while keeping the home clean and respectful. I make sure pets get plenty of exercise, affection, and consistent care while their owners are away.

About: I’ve always been passionate about animal welfare and care. There has never been a time I have not owned animals and currently has 4 cats and 1 dog. My experience stretches further as I have experience with anywhere from small animals such as chinchillas and guinea pigs to horses and previously working as a vet managing 90 baby deer. I share a lot of love and attention with my animals and would be happy to share that time and dedication with yours! I have a full time career in Human Resources for a large local employer where I work remote which has allowed me to have so many of my own fur babies! I am pretty flexible and wouldn’t accept a job where I couldn’t meet your animals needs. I have four cats that are well adjusted to dogs (including my neighbors 90 lb golden retriever) and a very social dog that my husband takes to the dog park 4 days a week. I also don’t mind staying at other persons homes as I have before with our neighbors and friends. You can expect that I will always treat your home and privacy with the utmost respect—just as I would want someone to do in my own home. If you have specific rules or instructions, you can count on me to follow them carefully and consistently.

FAQs for Dog Walking - Mount Vernon

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of July 2026, there are 1,432 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Mount Vernon. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.

Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in your Mount Vernon. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.

For dog walking services, you can request a report card update with specifics about your dog’s walk. Report cards require photos and can include a map of the walking route , total walk time, poop and pee breaks, and distance traveled, so you know exactly where your dog has been walking in Mount Vernon.

Got specific details you'd like the dog walker to include? Message them in the app before your dog’s walk begins.

The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.

All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.

Every walker on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.

Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page .

Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in Mount Vernon. On Rover:

  • 90% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 97% can help with daily exercise

You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.

Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a walker. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your walker or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your walker questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and walkers on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.

Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.

Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement walker.
